4.3, <br /> <br />Victoria Lane Overlay and Truckin.q Activity <br /> <br />City Administrator Pat Klaers indicated that the residents of Victoria Lane have <br />been notified of this meeting. He indicated that the issue relates to an approved <br />overlay for Victoria Lane and the possibility of the overiayment being <br />compromised by a semi trailer/tractor in the area. He reviewed the issues that <br />had previously been discussed. He further indicated that Environmental and <br />Code Enforcement Officer Laurie Mezera-Kerr has done some research regarding <br />semi tractors/trailers in residential areas. <br /> <br />Laurie Mezera-Kerr indicated that due to complaints received about a local <br />trucker in a residential area, she has researched several cities regarding these <br />types of issues. She indicated that this issue would be addressed in the city's <br />nuisance ordinance and that she is working on an amendment to the nuisance <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />Mark Grimmer, 20446 Victoria Lane, indicated that he did not feel it was fair that <br />the city is working with the county to obtain a driveway permit for Mr. Martin when <br />he was denied a driveway permit a few years ago for the same area. He further <br />indicated that the subdivision has a covenant regarding the use of semi trucks in <br />the area and questioned whether the city would enforce this covenant. Mayor <br />Duitsman indicated that the city does not enforce neighborhood covenants. <br /> <br />Elk River City Council Minutes <br />August 24, 1998 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Sieve Stoffers, 14092 Victoria Lane, indicated that he was opposed to fixing the <br />road to a higher standard so as to accommodate one individual. He further <br />indicated that this would be done at the expense of the taxpayers and did not <br />feel it was fair. <br /> <br />Gary Balcom expressed his concern over truck noise and stated he hopes any <br />revised ordinance will address this type of situation. <br /> <br />Discussion was held by the Council regarding whether it would be feasible to post <br />a $ Ton maximum on the road which would make it impossible for a semi truck to <br />use the road. It was further noted that this could also restdct activities of the <br />neighbors as other trucks would also not be allowed on the road such as cement <br />trucks, garbage trucks, etc. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO SEND THE ISSUE OF SEMI TRUCK <br />TRAILERS/TRACTORS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR <br />REVIEW AND TO DELAY ANY ACTION ON THE OVERLAY ON VICTORIA LANE UNTIL A <br />DECISION IS MADE BY THE COUNCIL REGARDING THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT. <br />COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED .5-0. <br /> <br /> <br />
